The Lonely Seagull

Written by Rick Book
Water colours by Marie Stewart

8 X 8 inches, 30 pages

THIS IS A STORY ABOUT STORYTELLING. It is about one father and son and their bedtime ritual. It is a tale inspired by a wooden mobile seagull that comes to life over the Atlantic Ocean and discovers a genie in a bottle. It begins as a story about loneliness, but it's really about friends and the happy endings that companionship brings. Perhaps, too, it is a tale that will inspire a family story of your own.
